@benfulton @bloomington_in @bluejekyll These stories are so wild to me, because... the cyclists can't claim any damages? He has to gofundme a new bike?

I think I've only heard of drivers getting out of damages in 🇳🇱 after dashcam footage or witness testimony. The law generally sides with cyclists in these cases.
